Mimic can clears blues

https://epicmafia.com/game/6873604/review

When mimic visits mafia, they only self-visit. When mimic visits town, they visit self and the town -> the game double checks the role of the visited and they make the "Role Box" to reappears. In the case of Mimic onto pr, the new box is the new role (which is blue because they got mimiced).

But when blue get mimiced.. the box reappears as villager seemingly for no reason. Blue can know if they got mimiced if their box was "reset".

That means the same way caroler can clear people if they claim to be caroled, mimic can clear blue if they claim to have their role box "reset",

For an example
Drunk drunks guiser tracker goes on drunk. The report would be drunk going on the guiser and not the guised



i'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to work, the tracker sees the report of who the drunk chose at night (but in this case if guiser is drunked they couldn't have guised out so guiser = guised)


im talking about d2 when guiser is drunked with tracker checking who the drunk drinks. cause i caught guiser that way

my bad, didn’t get what you were saying before
tracker gets drunk visit report onto original guier when guiser is hiding as someone else - sounds like a weird bug lol

also from what i've heard the box exploit is fixed now, only pr's get the box when they change to blue, blues don't get notified when they are mimic'd anymore

While it might be true that mimic actually visit mafia, what is more relevant tho is that regardless, it has been proved they only reset town's box.

The tooltip solution only resolves the problem about tracked mimic on maf, not the box issue.
almost 6 years
read what bottle said, the tooltip is misleading and makes it sound like mimic won't visit if targeting mafia, so they thought dissent was cleared for being visited
almost 6 years
@Denial : changing the tooltip is not a solution if the role isnt fixed. Regardless of what the tooltip says if its common knowledge that the mimic does not reset mafia's box.

Being afk/tabbed out doesnt reset the box, only refreshing/quiting the game.

Oh I just saw awwny’s video but yea I don’t remember seeing it at day start again
almost 6 years
Also can someone explain what the hella box is and how we can see it refreshing? What if an afk blue is mimiced? Would they not see it? Or is it going to be fixed and should we not care? Yesterday this mimic was trying to get me lynched cause I didn’t claim my box resetting and I was blue and idek how to..

ive been wanting to try the mimicing on blue this round to confirm the town but it has too many flaws
1)tracker needs to be on the mimic to see the report
2)a pr is prolly lost while doing that
3) the tracker isnt guaranteed to stay alive to out the report



the tracker exploit doesn't work btw

Aww man that really sucks! Then the description needs to be changed or the report should be fixed


@daniel while we are at this topic can you confirm if tracker catching the guiser is a glitch or not?

For an example
Drunk drunks guiser tracker goes on drunk. The report would be drunk going on the guiser and not the guised

Same thing when tracker directly tracks the guiser the report is the guiser visiting and not the guised

Also the whole thing gets fcked if you refresh. Probably not a good idea to have dependent game mechanics that die when you reload :3333

yeah the box thing is new and definitely makes it more powerful but i think it kinda messes up the role.

it basically makes mimic a one-shot cop in addition to being able to copy a pr


except mafia can fake it like a carol :( awnyy :(

yeeks, okay well i can probably just fix the tooltip for the role itself so people don't think mafia are clear because they see the visit thing

mafia wont receive the box because they dont' get visited per the mimic mechanics, but ty for testing it, ill pass along to lucid


they do get visited by mimic mechanics tho

bottle says





i was guiser, and dissent mimic'd on me. tracker caught him visiting me and self
i was basically autocleared even though i was maf


that was a misinterpretation of the mimic mechanics, and its been this way for years. mimic always mimics target+self

the box thing is new, and is actually a buff to the role. mimicking blue becomes actually optimal if maf nojans n1 and prs are clear

Exactly, thats the premise of why it only works on blue

Oddly, the mimic box is delayed


this didnt make the box re-appear tho


I couldnt be fked to film the entire game to show my first box, but i promise i did get it and i didnt quit the browser.

+ I just tried the same but as vanilla mafia. Mafia do not get their box to be reset.

the way the role is written is wrong, but mimic has to visit their target in order to check alignment
